SHREVEPORT, La. - Despite a better shooting effort in the second half, the Centenary College men's basketball team dropped a 67-60 contest to Trinity University on Saturday evening. The Gents fall to 7-8 overall and 3-4 in the SCAC while the Tigers improve to 11-4, 5-1 in conference action.
The Maroon and White connected on 50 percent of its shots in the second stanza after shooting just over 31 percent in the opening 20 minutes. The Gents finished shooting 41.7 percent on the night.

Jonathan Blount's trey gave the Gents their first and only lead of the second half. Blount finished with 15 points on the night, tying for the team lead with Drew Erskine. Caden Cheramie pulled down a team-high 9 boards.
After the Gents took the lead, the Tigers responded with a 15-6 run to grab a double digit lead and never looked back the remainder of the way.
